A landscape rake is such a versatile tool! Definitely one of my favorites!
Hey Ethan. Yes, I agree with that 100%. I didn't realize how much I'd use it, but I'm glad I have it. Thanks for watching, bud!
How to turn a chore into something fun, nice!!
Great video, David! Love your old fashioned trails!
Glad you like them, Lucas! I appreciate you watching, bud. :)
Beautiful area with the trees.
It really is!
That is awesome! Great job and great video! Cheers from Minnesota!
Thank you very much! I appreciate you watching! - David
Hi Dave! Nice work on the farm trails! Your method seems to be working out well for you. Great drone shots, BTW! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, Martin! It took some trial and error, but it's doing well now. The wife loves these types of trails and I do to. Thanks again!
Great video!
Congratulations David! You did it man! Way to go David! Well done.
Thank you, Gary! I really appreciate it buddy. See you soon, my friend! :)
Thanks for another great episode of making Ben wish he had a landscape rake 😅!
LOL, Ben! Well you have a lot of the stuff I really want. Especially that Kubota RTV! LOL Thanks for watching, bud. Have a great week! :)
Hey David. Looks like it's drying up a little for you out there. Property looking great!
Hey folks, yep it's drying slowly but surely. I can dig down a few inches and it's really wet down there, but I don't really complain since the aquafer benefits from it. Thanks for watching!
Two thumbs up
Hey Bob, thank you buddy!
Hey David , trails look really good . Your son will love them when the go-cart hits them !!
Hey Del, thanks buddy! Oh boy you ain't kidding! He's been tearing those trails up! Take care, my friend!
Great vid David! You are becoming the landscape rake master! All of the trails will be tons of fun this summer!
Thank you, Derk! The boy has already been tearing it up on his gokart. At first I didn't really want him on the trails, but he keeps the nicely groomed for me when it's not too muddy. LOL Thanks for watching, buddy.
That was a good idea using the rake the way you did. Those trails are really going to look nice when the trees get their leaves on them. Later
Thanks Mech! Good to see you, buddy 👍
Trails look nice. Love the drone footage.
Thank you very much! I appreciate it :)
Another good video David, like the way you do the trails.
Hey Bruce, good to see you again. Thank you very, much. We thought it would be fun to have a network of those types of trails. The wife loves them and tells me to get on the tractor and make more! Thanks for watching, I appreciate it!
Great job. It's relaxing just to watch the progress. Keep up the good work!
Thanks, Logan! I appreciate it man. I was looking at this video to be one of those "tractor therapy" videos. I'm glad it worked out that way for you. :) Thanks again, buddy.
Enjoyed the video the camera work was awesome! That landscape rake really does a great job. Watching your videos I have pretty much convinced myself to get one very soon. Your family will enjoy using the paths for walks. Have a great day my friend.
Hey Paul, thank you very much! Funny thing is that I didn't think I'd use it much after initially cutting the trails. But I use it all the time now. It's a great implement, I just wish you could take off the tines assembly and put on a blade. Seems that would be a good way to take better advantage the main structure. Thanks again, my friend!
Those trails will be great for your son when using "his" tractor. Stay on the trails :)
That's the plan! LOL - He's big enough this Spring to operate the Cub Cadet without adding weights to the seat. Still too early for the Kubota, but I do give him some seat time in the flat areas. Thanks for watching, my friend! :)
Nice work on the trail creation, David.
Thank you! I appreciate you watching, Kyle. Cheers!
Great video David, enjoyed watching you make thrails.
Hey folks, thanks for taking a look. Are you guys planning a nice trail system over at your property?
Awesome video
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice tractor !
Thank you! I appreciate you watching. :) - David
good vidio
Thank you for watching! 😀
Looks very nice great idea
Love the drone footage and background music
Well done !

Hey Phil! The wife loves it. That's what counts right? Thanks for watching my friend!
Love the camera angles David. Well done, as always.
Glad you like them, Gary. Thanks, buddy :)
Great idea for cutting a trail, it worked really well. Fantastic video, I really liked the camera angles
Thank you very much, Joseph! I appreciate it, mate!
Very well done. Now just fill in the ruts with Woodchips and you'll be set. Will make a nice walking path or drivable road if needed. Awesome drone work. Cheers.
Hey Ross, the chips are a good thought. I wonder how well they'd hold up to the gokart though. Anyway, thank you for watching and all of your support! :)
@@PaleHorseOutdoors we run cars, side by sides, motorhomes, dirt bikes on ours, and they are fine. Oh.. and tractors :)
👍😎 very cool! Nicely done!🚜🇺🇸💪
Thank you, sir! And thanks for the visit. I really appreciate it! :)
Nice video, that’s going to be nice to ride the various vehicles around on !! Keep up the nice work brother !!
Hey thanks man! I can't wait to "hike" out there with my son later this summer and do some camping and cooking. Thanks for the visit, my friend! :)
Nice job David. Your videos , editing, etc are outstanding. Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much, Scott. I appreciate you stopping by the channel. Have a great week, my friend! :)
Nice job on the trails. I need to work on mine. It's been about 10 years.
Thank you! I cut the main trails about a year ago and started putting in these "farm road" trails last fall. Then winter came and made a mess of them with all the dead fall. At least it gives me more tractor time! Thanks for watching, I appreciate it!
Pretty cool idea taking out the center tines David. Not sure I've ever seen so many White Birch trees in one place.
Thank you, Case! Yeah there are hundreds of them and new ones pop up all the time. Ours aren't getting very big in diameter, but they're pretty darn tall. There's a really nice canopy starting to take shape there, too! Thanks for watching, I appreciate it!
Good Morning Sir David 👌😉 Very nice tractor trail Sir 👌👍😉 Very nice air drone view 🧐👌👍 Outstanding information about your Bannon 3 in 1 Logging Wagon and your land scape rake 👍👌🧐 OUTSANDING Video Sir and have a Blessed Sunday Sir Cheers 🍻😉👍
Good morning! Hello there, my friend! Thank you very much for your kind words and your outstanding support, David! I appreciate it! Cheers! 🍻😉
I want one of them ,loved video lol debs xx
Thanks for visiting!
How's she goin'? Those trails look some nice David. Using the rake that way is a great idea for making the wheel ruts. Take care!!!
Hey Mike! Yes it really does the job getting it started. It takes a lot more work than I show and maintenance of course, but that just gives me more time on the tractor. The wife and I love the way those "old" roads look once they settle down and smooth out in the weather. Thanks for watching, my friend! Cheers
Looks like fun!! I enjoyed the whole video. Came from Dave's and subbed already 🙂❤
Awesome! Thank you! I subbed you earlier today. Thanks for the visit! :) - David
What a fun idea for the path. Our walking paths on the farm were mostly created by the cattle going various ways out to pasture. They were hard packed as can be after thousands of hoof poundings were endured over the course of decades. Of course there were the typical smelly droppings you had to dodge while walking, but you know, that's just part of farm life. Awesome job David, I like it a lot.
Thanks, Wendell! These trails are great for walking around, but just as much a necessity for getting the tractor all around the land without messing it up too much and keeping safe on those hills. At my age, I don't want to wait for nature to make those trails look this way so the modified rake does the job! :) Thanks for watching, my friend!
The landscape rake does a good job in the soft stuff, almost works like a thatcher in the grass and if one runs it many times it cultivates the grass.....would be nice to have a hoper on each side dumping gravel at a controlled amount like a seed drill.....would be perfect for the trails.
Hey Gator. Those are some great ideas. One pass on the thick grass does do a good job at thatching. I don't know if I'd use it that way on the main lawn, but in the meadow it works really well. I did that a few weeks ago before putting out new grass seed and wild flower seed. Thanks for watching, my friend! :)
Just joined at 1K!! 👍👍
Welcome aboard! and thank you very much, Ethan!
🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for watching, bro! 🍻
@@PaleHorseOutdoors no problem 🍺
Hey David nice job! I have been looking at B2601 and just realized that’s the model you have.🤦🏼♂️ Have you heard of anyone that has a belly mower on this tractor? Great vid👍🏻👍🏻
Hey Todd, thanks buddy! Oh man, the B2601 is perfect for my land and the way I use it. I wouldn't go smaller or bigger for what I do out here. Yeah, lots of people in fact. I personally wouldn't use a belly mower on this tractor because it's too big to get into tight spaces on the regular lawn. I bought a Cub Cadet for finish mowing and a brush hog for the meadows. Thanks for watching, man! And check out my B2601 group on Facebook - LOT's of B2601 users in the group. facebook.com/groups/kubotabseries
I run a 60" MMM . I mow with the loader off the project I do can go a month instead of a week. The grass gets thick the B2601 chews it up. 😀
That worked out well. The aerial shots were great. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it, Dave! I've done this technique a few times and I'm just keeping at them until they look the way we want. It's a process, but it's fun to keep going over them to get it right. Cheers, bud!🍻
That makes some cool looking trails! Nice work. The go cart doesn't tear up the center of the trails?
Hey Justin! Thanks buddy. I was concerned at first that the gokart would tear up the grass part, but he rode on them for a few months last season and it actually helped groom them. Thanks for watching, man!
Just curious Dave aren't you concerned with water being trapped in them ruts making it muddy.. just wondering why nice grassy areas for trails wouldn't leave it be
Hey BB. Not at all. This is our second season with these trails and they only get too muddy to use in the areas that flood anyway. Besides, we love them like this. Grass trails won't hold up with all the tractor, gokart and UTV use anyway. They rut up naturally. This way, I'm getting what my wife and I want right off the bat. I'm too old to wait. LOL
Evening David, great video and some really nice drone shots too. 👍 What drone did you end up getting? Looks like all the trails are turning out real nice. The landscape rake seems like it does a decent job. I haven't been able to get out much this past week and weekend been fighting a cold. Hope you are doing well. Take care buddy. ✌
Hey, Kyle! Thanks bud. I got the DJI Mini 2 at BHPhoto (half-price used) and it's a great little drone. It doesn't have obstacle avoidance and follow mode, but it has a nice 4K picture. I really like the rake. I wish it had some of the more advanced features that other rakes have, but it's a good implement to have for sure. I'm sorry you've been under the weather and I hope you have a good week. You take care of yourself, Kyle!
The ground here in Iowa is getting stupidly expensive. Just had a farm 5 miles north of me sell off 100 acres of really steep, rough ground. Some of it so steep you could tip a drag over. It sold for $11,000 / acre, or 1.1 million dollars.
Had another farm south of me that sold some land and got $17,000 / acre. Much better ground that the 1st on e I mentioned, but not anywhere near worth the $17,000 per acre. We may be heading right back into the very late 70's and early 80's of agriculture.
Oh wow that's crazy. Land prices for around 5 acres just outside of town have doubled since we've bought out here. I don't know how young people are going to be able to every buy property. Thanks for watching, Gary! I really appreciate it!
Definitely getting drier out there for you. Not here yet. Ground is too wet to work and too cold to plant anyway.
Yeah a bit drier thanks to the weatherman predicting rain so we got sun. LOL
Work the weight, or made a huge difference! I'm trying to convince my husband to hook that up to his truck! The convincing part isn't going well
Maybe if you told him to get a tractor he'd change his mind! LOL Thanks for watching! Have a great week! :)
Looking good David.. the rake really does a great job of creating the old horse cart trails. I noticed on a sharp turn, the inside tines seemed to cross over the centerline, but managed not to cause too much damage.. great video. Is that a rainwater catch tank, near your fire pit?
Hey David, Yeah that swinging action is why you don't want to make too many passes in the curves at first because it will scrape the center too much. I learned this first time I did it this way that you're not going to cut these completely in one time. I only show a few minutes in the videos, but I actually work on these for several days cutting, rolling them out, cutting again in the problem areas, rolling them out some more, letting the weather do it's thing, more grooming, etc. It's fun though and gives me more tractor time.
The big thing near the fire pit is a Gazelle gazebo. That thing is awesome!
Interesting, but whats the purpose?
Take care🙂❤️👍
These are roads for my tractor basically. And a circuit for my son to race his kart and trails for my family to walk down to the campsites in the forest. And they remind me of the old farm roads that I grew up with in the south. Riding over the same spot for years does the same thing. I'm just speeding up the process.
